Knock Off Starbucks Egg Bites with JustEgg (Vegan)
I have been intrigued with the egg bites from a (ahem) certain national coffee chain for quite some time and this past weekend I finally got around to trying my hand at making a vegan version of this cult-classic breakfast on the go! Bonus: My at home version didn’t cost $5 for only two…and I didn’t need to get out of my PJ’s. Win, win.
Full disclosure: I have never has the st*rbucks version but I can't imagine that they could be any better than this! These have mushroom, tomato, and feta (yes, leftover from the kebobs from last night...) But I think that;s part of what makes this recipe so great! You can customize it for your own tastes, or even make a couple of versions! So quick and easy and the texture was perfect!
What you are going to need to buy:
Just Egg, the liquid. It can typically be found right by the eggs in the cold case at the grocery store. There really isn’t a substitute for this…if you want “eggs” that actually taste like the real thing, just try Just Egg. You’ll thank me later.
Sour Cream - (I’m a pretty die-hard Tofutti fan, so that’s what I always use!)
Salt and Pepper, to taste
Optional Add Ins: For this recipe I used mushrooms, Roasted Tomatoes, Vegan Feta and some leftover pesto.
That’s it! Crazy, I know!
What you are going to need to do:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium glass bowl whisk together one cup of JustEgg and 1/4 cup of Tofutti Sour Cream.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste, and add in your favorite breakfast add ins. Try to get as much moisture from the add ins as you can so that your egg bites don’t become soggy. I pressed my tomatoes and mushrooms between paper towels before adding them.
Spray a medium muffin tin with a cooking spray and fill each section half-full with the batter. Don’t over-fill.
You can also use a mini-muffin tin but your cooking time may decrease.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until center is set. Let cool in the tin for 1-2 minutes.
Serve garnished with fresh herbs, like chives!
This recipe should make 6-7 medium Egg Bites.
